Tough Quesion: Process Description Reports for DFD's

Question

Hi,
I have described my processes using the Oracle DFD tool. However, the current reports do not allow me to print the process descriptions. Does anyone know how I could print off the process descriptions using the current reports available with designer tool.

Hello,
Guess I was looking for the formal sequence of steps that would bring me to the
ddls for "create role ..." and "grant privileges to role".
You can do that.
1) I assume you have logical model and it's engineered to relational model, also you have data flow diagram created
2) You need to define information structures for flows connecting "Information store" to primitive process - attribute usage of particular entities should be defined for those "information structures" processed in flows
3) You need to define create, update and delete operation for flow going from primitive process to store - read is assumed in opposite direction
4) create a role in Process model and assign primitive processes to it - list of available processes to add depends on current data flow diagram
5) You need an open physical model for your relational model
6) Select "transfer process model roles to physical model roles" from context menu of top level DFD - select roles, relational and physical model there - roles with related permissions will be created in physical model
Entity1 is divided in several subtypes for different business areas.
And account manager for business_area1 is allowed to work on subtype1 ( view on prime table )...
Different implementation of entity hierarchies are not processed correctly in that wizard - i.e to get permissions to table corresponding to child entity - that entity should be used in information structure and flow.
